CRITERION I – CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 – Curriculum Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 – Institution has the mechanism for well planned curriculum delivery and documentation. Explain in 500words
Curriculum delivery is disseminated through the handbook and calendar,college’s official website, Moodle – the online LMS, community radio,
announcements in the morning assembly, web lectures and orientation programmesfor new students and through displays at prominent places in the campus. The
measures taken by the institution for effective implementation of thecurriculum are – Annual Plan, Departmental Plan, Teaching Plan, Course Plan andUnitization Report by each faculty. During the orientation programme the first-
year students are given the syllabus and are also explained the mode ofcurriculum delivery. Intended objectives and expected outcomes are also
explained at the beginning of the academic session. Audio-visual methods likemovie/documentary screenings are also adapted for this purpose. In order to
ensure effective curriculum delivery and transaction, the college has an activeexamination committee comprising representatives from every department, which
fixes the examination dates. We follow the continuous internal assessmentsystem of evaluation comprising monthly tests, mid-semester and selection
examinations, attendance record and behavioural assessments. Also, a reportcard having the aforementioned fields is generated and distributed to everystudent. Meritorious students from both the internal evaluations and the
University examinations are rewarded to boost their morale. The results of theUniversity examinations in the intermittent semesters are regularly scrutinised
to improve performance in the further tests. The entire examination policymanual can be found at https://salesiancollege.ac.in/wp-

practical sessions, student exchange programmes, field trips, problem-solvingactivities etc. in consultation with faculty and students. For effective
operationalisation of the curriculum, the college organises industrial visits,internship programs and career fairs for students. ICT-enabled classrooms helpboth the teachers and the students for better delivery and comprehension of thesubjects. Research workshops, seminars, group discussions, annual departmentaldays are regularly held for and by the students. A fully functional communityradio also acts as a liaison with external agencies and local communities. Thecontinuous process of teaching-learning did not take a halt during the lockdownperiod. The lectures were and are being delivered online through live classescreating a huge repository of e-contents at the same time. The main platformused for this purpose is the official online LMS of the college – Moodle.Simultaneously, for the students from the underdeveloped locales with weakconnectivity issues, the lectures are also delivered through the Salesian
Radio, instant messaging apps and even over phone calls. A full-fledged onlineexamination have also been organised to evaluate the students through Moodle
with an average of more than 95% responses from the students. Thecollege/departments maintain(s) its/their question banks. The weaker studentsget special attention through remedial and extra coaching classes. The Collegeperiodically arranges Parent-Teacher-Student meetings to maintain transparencyand understanding among these key stakeholders. The methods used to analyse theachievement of objectives are monthly unitisation reports, staff meetings onregular basis, weekly reports by the heads of the departmental meetings.

2.3.2 – Students mentoring system available in the institution? Give details. (maximum 500 words)
Mentoring of the students has become a fundamental approach towards catering to the diverse needs of thestudents irrespective of their heterogeneous backgrounds. The primary objective of the mentoring structure is to
encourage, guide and motivate the student´s prospective in an inclusive manner. The institution aims atimparting to its students a sound and value-laden educational support system. The modus operandi of the
mentoring structure ensures to its mentees absolute discreteness. The mentoring system, preventive in nature,functions at two different levels, i.e. the group and the individual, catering to the student’s holistic development.
The mentoring structure aims to build a sound, reliable and transparent student-mentor relationship byenhancing the contact hours, screening student’s academic performances, updating college regularity,
personality enhancement and nurturing their social sensibility. For the said purpose, the institution under theprimary vigilance of the Vice-Principal, faculty members are assigned a particular batch of semesters with a
minimum strength of 10 to 20 students which in most cases might increase depending upon the total intake ofstudents per course. The mentoring session is scheduled every Saturday for all the departments. Moreover, the
follow-up sessions are constantly undertaken by the concerned departments to ensure the reliability of theprocess fulfilling the primary objective of the programme. Hence, as an outcome, it tries to enhance an
equilibrium infrastructure with a reliable assistance/model in maintaining a strong interrelationship between themanagement and the fellow students. The mentees have voluntary participation and acknowledges the
relevance of a need for a sound, constructive and comprehensive model. The process of mentoring is viewed as
an individualized form of counseling and guidance activity. For the said purpose, the college has, in order tomake the process more concrete, transparent and systematic, identified the mentors and provides a methodical
action plan. The faculty/mentor responsible for the mentoring collects the information from the concernedmentees making sure that the data is kept enclosed. Separate data files are created in the form of hard copies.
The college has its own structured format for the aforesaid purpose. The mentors can access a copy of thestructured format from the college´s website. The cases are most probably discussed with the concerned
teachers or the head of the departments for a proper review. In matters of grave concern, the issue can behanded over to the Campus Minister, Fr. Dr. Babu Joseph (SDB) for further counseling along with the
involvement of the guardians in rare occasions. The system makes sure that the guardians are constantlyinformed and the students constantly reviewed. Apart from the faculty, the Campus Minister takes into its fold the
responsibility of catering to the academic and more importantly the student’s behavioral progress. Collegecounseling cell headed by Fr. Dr. Mathew Pulingathil (SDB) and Fr. Dr. James Chako( SDB) have been
earnestly and deftly handling the affair concerning not merely the students but also its faculty members. SalesianCollege visualizes education deeply rooted on the principles of loving kindness and selfless service thereby
encouraging reasonable proactive approaches.

2.5.2 – Reforms initiated on Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE) system at the institutional level (250 words)
The academic session 2019 - 2020 continued under the Choice Based Credit System(CBCS) at the undergraduate level as in the previous session. In the ongoing
CBCS format, the total marks allotted for CIA is 15 out of which 5 marks arefor attendance and 10 marks for continuous internal evaluation which comprises
scholastic and co-scholastic areas of assessment. In keeping with therequirement of the University with regard to the CIA, the Institution conducts
internal assessments of the students throughout the semester. CIE is alsoconducted for the Post Graduate students of the departments having post
graduate wing. The reforms initiated on the Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE) system at the Institutional level in the session 2019-20 are as follows:
• Post Selection Aptitude Test to assess the aptitude of students in theHonours subject. These tests are held within a month of the enrolment ofstudents to the college. • Selection Tests are held before the Universitysemester exams to familiarise the students with the University pattern of
examination. The selected students are allowed to appear for the universityexams on the basis of their performance in this test. • Students are requiredto submit assignments/ present papers/ participate in group discussions/ take
class tests/ field trips/ projects/ open book exam/ quizzes and engage invarious forms of assessment techniques as decided by the faculty/ department as
a part of the Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) requirement of theUniversity. The marks attained by the students in these CIA activities arerecorded and submitted to the Vice-Principal on a monthly basis. • The
Continuous Internal Evaluation mechanism of the college not only assesses theacademic aspect of the students but also assesses the personality developmentof the students. The various aspects of students’ personality like regularity
and punctuality, participation, leadership and organising skills, socialconcern, peer and faculty engagement, communication skills, creativity,
application and campus culture are observed and assessed through the course ofinteraction between the faculty and students both inside and outside the
classroom. According to their performance, the students are graded on a six-point scale ranging within A-excellent, B-very good, C-good, D-fair, E-
satisfactory and F-not satisfactory. The regularity and punctuality aspects ofthe students are recorded and maintained by a twofold technique: the biometric
system at the entrance of the college records the entry and exit of thestudents to and from the college besides the faculty maintain a separate
attendance register for each subject and paper. • Due to the pandemic, Covid-19the classes from mid-March 2020 have been conducted online and hence theinternal assessment was also conducted in the online mode. For this, the
Institution has an official online platform in the form of Learning ManagementSystem known as Salesian Online. The grades of students are fed and recorded inthe LMS for each paper of every department. • The Examination Manual containingthe Policy regarding examination issues is available in the College Website andthe link for the same is shared here: https://salesiancollege.ac.in/policies/sc-
examination-manual/
2.5.3 – Academic calendar prepared and adhered for conduct of Examination and other related matters (250words)
A Handbook and Calendar Committee for Salesian College, Sonada and SalesianCollege, Siliguri Campus was constituted in order to formulate the dates forvarious academic and co-curricular activities. Internal evaluations such as
selection to the semester examination for both theory and practicalexaminations were fixed by carefully chalking out the teaching schedules, classtests and assignment distributions keeping in mind that ample time was given to
the faculty members to complete the specified syllabus for the semester.Careful planning was also very important in order to chalk out time-tables forco-curricular activities such as Exsurge, Innovision, Ethnic Day, Savour Faire,and other special events. The intra and inter-college fests respectively aswell as annual College Sports and Games Competition the college organises,
feature in the College’s annual calendar after careful planning so that theseimportant occasions do not hamper the academic tenor. It is done to provide
ample scope so that the same could be effectively organised and the studentscould gain maximum benefits from all of them by having a greater choice. Withreference to the conduct of Examination, each and every date for Selection
Examinations, dates for submission of monthly Continuous Internal Assessments(CIA), daily attendance of the students are meticulously planned, laid down andaccessed through an online Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that has
been developed in-house by faculty members of the Department of ComputerScience and Application. The Handbook and Calendar Committee does not disperseafter the publication of the College Handbook and Calendar but continues tomaintain a close link with the faculty members as well as the management and
support staff trying to ascertain the efficacy of the calendar thuscontinuously taking input form them and improving upon it so that all the
academic as well as co-curricular activities are undertaken with precision andharmony. The Handbook and Calendar Committee calls for common meetings withdifferent departments and their suggestions are sought. At least two events
from each department are desired for a semester and these are evenly spaced andallocated in the calendar segment. The meetings of Governing Body, Internal
Quality Assurance Cell, Deanery and Faculty, Finance, Construction and PurchaseCommittee are scheduled in the handbook and calendar. Fee payment due dates arementioned. Standard operational procedures for exams, code of conduct, campus
culture, role of student council/class representatives and college’sexpectations from the parents are laid out in the handbook and calendar. Theprogramme laid out in the Handbook and Calendar is flexible enough to getchanged with proper information to the committee members in the event of
exigencies and emergencies to suit the requirements of the students on thewhole. It is truly, the diligence of the work done by Handbook and CalendarCommittee under the supervision of the Principal and Vice Principals of the
respective campuses and monitored continuously by the IQAC through theeffective ERP system in the campuses that act as the backbone to the structural
perfection visible in the smooth and harmonious functioning of SalesianCollege.

CRITERION VI – GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
6.1 – Institutional Vision and Leadership
6.1.1 – Mention two practices of decentralization and participative management during the last year (maximum 500words)
The administration and management, especially the decision and policy-makingprocedure, of the college have been decentralized through a participatory
management mechanism. Apart from the Founder Body, Governing Body members andthe Principal, there are Vice-Principals and Deans who look after daily runningof the college in collaboration with the Bursar, Campus Ministers, Deans and Co-ordinators. They are in turn supported by heads of departments. The college hasgiven responsibility and freedom to the deaneries to function independently inits day-to-day functioning following the broad common vision and mission of the
college. Departments are given the liberty to organise Continuous InternalAssessments in the modes and manner the departments choose to. The academiccalendar is planned in the beginning of the year and once the calendar isready, the departments and deaneries decide the mode of completion of theprescribed syllabus and the evaluation of the same in keeping with the
educational/instructional objectives of each of the departments. The collegeencourages decentralization and participative management through the
involvement of Religious faculty, Non-Religious faculty, Students, Parents,Alumni, Local Educators, Intellectuals and neighbours. The student
representatives such as Departmental Representatives (DRs) and Course/ClassRepresentatives (CRs), and members of the Student Council are given leadership
roles wherever they can fit in. Students were chosen by election by theirpeers. The co-operation of parents/guardians, alumni and neighbours is sought.Regular meetings of parents, alumni and neighbours are held for this purpose
during which some local educators or intellectuals are invited. The compositionof the internal quality assurance cell of the college where important quality
enhancement related decisions are made, include of the elected/nominatedmembers of the student council and parents’ representative. The college
management includes faculty representatives (male and female) and parents’
representative in the crucial decision-making process. The most importantdecentralisation measure that was taken in the 2019-2020 academic year was thecreation of three deaneries in Siliguri Campus to facilitate more participationin the decision making, execution and evaluation. Later, three Vice Principalsand Deans were appointed to look after the deaneries. Siliguri campus havingpost-graduate programmes in English, Education and Psychology also appointed
Dean for PG Studies in the same academic year. College has given full autonomyto the clubs, cells, associations and societies among the departments and
deaneries to function in the matters of outreach of the college, fundraising,organisation of charitable events, maintenance of the public relations andstudent support. The college has Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC)developed by the students and faculty of the Departments of Commerce and
Business Administrations to develop the entrepreneurial culture of the youngentrepreneurs. Keeping in mind the growth prospects of the nation and
simultaneously realising how well it can sustain the budding entrepreneurs, thecollege authority decided to move a step forward and explore the possibilitiesof excelling in this field. Hence the cell commenced from July 2019. Upholdingits motto of innovation, knowledge and growth the EDC has organised over 6
major events in the college campus in the said academic year.

The History of Salesian Youth Centres Sunday, 25th August 1963, saw the birthof the Youth Centres under the patronage of Salesian College, Sonada. There
were originally three in number – the one in Gorabari, one at Shantirani (HopeTown) and the one at Margaret’s Hope. That small tree has grown and has nowbranched into 26 centres. Under their refreshing shade thousands of young
people have taken shelter and relished its sweet fruits. It does not seem to bea mere chance that the fire kindled from its flame has spread its warmth to thesurrounding hills and valleys. Certainly, the motto of Salesian College Sonada,Flamma Ardens et Lucens, was not a meaningless slogan when we find that thewildfire of more than 40 youth centres had been kindled by the hundreds ofSalesian College Sonada students inspired by Christ and Don Bosco. It is anundeniable fact that the thousands of boys and girls who pass through thesecentres as well as hundreds of Brothers have been inspired and achieved a lot
over the last 57 years of existence of the Salesian College Sonada YouthCentres. Motto of the Youth Centres “DO GOOD and BE GOOD” Vision The SalesianYouth Ministry strives to offer every young people a nurturing, respectful andsafe environment based on an agenda of equity and the best interest of the
young people, to enable all young people to have access to rights,opportunities and resources for survival, protection, development and

espoused by Don Bosco (The Preventive System) – we seek to develop the wholeperson in all its dimensions (physical, psychological, moral and spiritual).Principles and Policies Don Bosco’s Preventive System of education with itsprinciples of REASON, RELIGION AND LOVING KINDNESS is to be practiced in allthe youth centres for the all-round development and enhancement of the youngpeople. The Principles of equity, justice and non-discrimination shall guide
all actions concerning youth. The safety, security and progress of young peopleshall be of prime importance and given paramount consideration. The youth will
be protected from harm, abuse, neglect, exploitation, discrimination andviolence as they have the right to protection. Objective Adopt the PreventiveSystem or the “Pedagogy of Presence” that uses REASON, RELIGION AND LOVINGKINDNESS to enable the best in every young people to blossom to create an
environment of preventive care by taking active steps to prevent any harm tothe young to provide a healthy environment that supports the integrated
development and protection of the young to create a culture of rights so thatrights of the young people are upheld to protect the young from falling intothe situation of risk, harmful influences and situations of bad influence.
